Emergency department self-harm presentations

This new clinical tool has been developed in New Zealand to allow clinicians to self-audit the care of people presenting with self-harm. It has come out of the Prevention of Self-Harm and Suicide Project, which in turn came out of the development of the assessment and management of people at risk of suicide. The tool focuses on four areas identified as important in evidence-based guidance: access, assessment, discharge and follow-up.
The tool can be accessed as an eBook or pdf here.
